Finished my Teapot

"Old Teapot", 6"x6", Oil on BoardI finished my teapot yesterday and just took it outside to get a quick photo of it. This was painted with a limited palette; however, I don't use pre-mixed greys. I like having the control over mixing my own. In other news for the week, I had two paintings accepted into a juried show at Art2010 at the Harlow Gallery here in Maine. May 7th will be a reception when they will announce prize winners...I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Gary,Thanks, I'll tell my son you like the banner and yes, it is simple. I don't think he can do anything too fancy in Photoshop just yet. I was called by the gallery director just a few hours ago and I apparently won something so that's always nice. Take care and thanks for looking.

About Me

Greetings from Maine!
Paintings From Maine is a painting blog created to chronicle my progress as a painter. My name is Jean Victory and I currently reside in the beautiful state of Maine. I have a B.A. in Art and for the past four years I've been primarily a pastel artist until a little over two years ago when I decided to give oils a try. Inspired by my fellow artists, I would eventually like to create a "Painting-a-Day" or nearly every day. To see more of my work or to view my resume please visit my website, jeanvictory.com
